I am a senior Mechanical Engineering major at the University of Delaware, with a concentration in Aerospace Engineering. My passion for dynamics inspired me to pursue undergraduate research in aerodynamics and hydrodynamics, TA for dynamics, and intern at SEPTA for the rail vehicle engineering department. These experiences motivate me towards a career in the aerospace industry. While working on my senior capstone with NASA, I have gained experience with a real-world engineering project. As the project lead, I have developed invaluable leadership abilities, exercised my organizational expertise, and enhanced my communication skills between colleagues, advisors, and sponsors. In my time founding the ASME student chapter at the University of Delaware, and serving as its President, I have developed my leadership and organizational skills, including planning events, fostering community bonding, working with my E-Board, and professional communication. I have also sharpened my networking skills and learned how to make, maintain, and use professional connections. In my internship with SEPTA, I realized my self-efficacy through two independent projects. I also learned how to keep various parties aligned with each other, serving as the main communication point between coworkers, supervisors, managers, foremen, mechanics, shop workers, and vendors. While working as an undergraduate researcher, I have furthered my education in my field of interest, aerodynamics and hydrodynamics, as well as honed in on my technical presentation skills and research abilities. Due to this experience, I have also begun to obtain an autonomous work ethic and learn how to take initiative with less structure than a traditional classroom setting.In my time as a laboratory TA for the Department of Mechanical Engineering, I have developed my capabilities working with complex equipment as well as refined my technical communication skills. As a lecture TA, I have grown as a leader in the department, built up my abilities as a teacher, as well as refined foundational engineering concepts in the process.
